【About i-cord NEEDLE】
* Please read the following section, 【About Choosing Your Size】, for more detailed product information and a guide to selecting the right size.
* The needles are designed to knit with the same gauge as the indicated needle size (needle number). Please choose your desired size from the available options.
* The handle is made of aluminum. Please handle with care as it is easily scratched.
* Scratches do not affect functionality.
* Due to its lightweight design, the needle is hollow inside; therefore, submersion in water is strictly prohibited.
* Avoid getting it wet. Stains may remain on the surface.
* If it gets wet or dirty, wipe it with a dry cloth and allow it to dry.
* The screw has a loosening prevention mechanism, but please refrain from using it when it is loose. The knitting needle may come loose and bend.
* The tip of the knitting needle is very delicate. To ensure long-lasting use, we recommend always closing the latch and storing the needle in its case or bag.
* Please be extremely careful as the tip of the knitting needle is sharp.
* The latch on the tip of the knitting needle is designed to open and close automatically in accordance with the movement of the yarn as you knit. Therefore, some needles may have a latch that flaps freely due to gravity when tilted, while others may have a stiffer movement.
This is a characteristic due to individual differences and does not affect the knitting feel or function. Please use with confidence.

【Regarding Size】
i-cord NEEDLE is compatible with Japanese standard knitting needles (straight needles).
If you are using overseas standard knitting needles, please convert them to Japanese standards.
You can expect a knitted result equivalent to i-cord knitted with the corresponding straight needles.
For i-cord binding off, we recommend using a needle size that matches the needle used for the main piece. However, with some adjustment to your tension, one i-cord needle can accommodate a size difference of approximately one size up or down.
If you are using a yarn with low elasticity, such as cotton, linen, paper yarn, or 100% acrylic, we recommend choosing a needle one size larger. (By looping the yarn more loosely around the needle than you would with elastic yarn, you can knit relatively easily without needing to increase the needle size.)
